I agree, just post the questions here in the thread. We've got a wide variety of backgrounds here, so I doubt you'll get any useful PM responses as we don't know what topic your questions are about - ie do you have mechanical issues that need fixed first, minor body work to try to bring top dollar, looking for a platform to sell it on, etc etc.

2 suggestions:
-Post a new thread of your own rather than ask it in a reply to an existing thread. Youll get a lot more views / replies that way.
-Post it in the engine section. This is the repair section for people trying to fix broken stuff.

my car was starting and then one day I came out of the store and it wouldn't start the lights come on power comes on but it won't click I believe it's something in the ignition because previous owners had had the ignition replaced before said that the keys were not reading it was infected mode and they had to do a new ignition and reset the security system so I think it might be It's in security mode I don't know but I have to move soon and I'm offering a cheap price please let me know if you know anyone

IMO, it seems like you've only got 2 options here:

1- have it towed to a mechanic to fix it so you can sell it for reasonable money. Sure you're going to put money in, but if its really as minor an issue as you think, it shouldn't be too expensive to fix - especially compared to how much more you can sell the car for.

2 - drop the price significantly to sell as is. Id bet you'd have to get the price down to $1000 or so to get rid of it, especially since it has to be hauled away.


No offense, but $4k for one of these that doesn't run isn't cheap at all. Thanks to all of the shady sellers out there - everyone will automatically assume something major is wrong- engine is blown, trans is blown, its a flood car, chassis is tweaked, etc. As breaking something simple to disable the car completely (or losing the keys) is a common ploy by shady sellers to cover up major issues. For reference, the only LS4 car currently for sale local to me (a GP GXP - much less rare, but has more options than the montes did) running / driving / clean title / 110k mile w/ recent full trans rebuild for $4800.

Clearly you're not trying to cover something up on your car, but you've also got no way to prove it to a buyer and theyve got no way to test it. They can't even test drive it to see if it drives straight or to see that all of the major systems work. It also drastically limits your market pool as most average car buyers these days would never consider buying a broken car from the start.

IMO your best bet to avoid practically giving it away is to have it towed to a shop and get it running.
